Distracted By Star Wars

Distracted By Star Wars - because there is no better distraction from your day than from a galaxy far far away!

DBSW is a showcase for all of the great Star Wars related items that I find on the web. Currated by r2witco, this site is in no way associated with © Lucasfilm Limited and has nothing but the greatest respect for George "the maker" Lucas and the amazing universe he has created.

How Should Your Kids Watch the Star Wars Saga?

Snarkmarket asks in which sequence kids should view the Star Wars films. The first option is its intended order, Episode I through VI. The second is their original release order -IV to VI and I to III. Snarkmarket offers and alternate sequence:

Let me make the case for an alternate sequence. Tell the story according to the age-appropriateness of the films. Essentially, you make the trilogy a big parallel mon­tage, matching archetypes across different times, generations, and places — kind of like LOST.

On this theory, you begin with Star Wars IV: A New Hope. It’s the best stand-alone movie in the series, and if your kid isn’t into it, it’ll probably take a while for them to be into the rest.

Then, jump to I: The Phantom Menace. You can explain that this is the story of Luke’s father Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and C-Threepio. No spoil­ers necessary!

From left: Yoda, Darth Vader, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin (top), General Grievous (bottom), Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul I mean, really. How could Darth Vader and Anakin be in the same picture? And Yoda is taller than Obi-Wan. That makes no sense. Oh. This was drawn by a 6 year old? Then I guess I could be a little more forgiving. Oh. My 6 year old drew this? BEST FUCKING PICTURE EVER.

I always wanted a Nerf gun, but my mom never allowed them in the house. She believed they were dangerous, too dangerous for a nine-year-old such as myself. “But Mom, they just shoot foam darts with rubber tips. Come ooonnnnnn.” But she didn’t yield to my nagging. So I came up with a plan: dress as Boba Fett from Star Wars and demand that a Nerf gun was an essential piece to the costume. Naturally, my father bought me the Nerf gun that resembled the weapon Fett had on his forearm in Return of the Jedi. I then coaxed my parents into buying what I’m sure was a very expensive replica helmet to complete my outfit. Success! A week after Halloween, my mom confiscated the gun after I shot my brother in the eye. — Editor Kevin Nguyen (via bygonebureau.com)
